Chengli and the Silk Road Caravan by Hildi Kang
3.0
Adventurous ~ Atmospheric ~ Charming
tl; dr: Young boy travels along the Silk Route.
This sweet novel tells the story of a young orphan boy who travels with merchants along the Silk Route in 630. This is a short book that strong young readers will be able to finish quickly. The book does a great job of dropping the reader into this amazing world, full of sounds, smells, and camels. But, the story gets a little boring about 2/3 of the way through. I think the author was more in love with the Silk Route than her story.
3.5
